The Reception of Sherman.

SPRINGFIELD, June 1.-The bad
weather of to-day seriously interiersd
with the Sherman reception at the
State capital, so far as outdoor demon.
strations were concerned. About L
O'Clock rain set in, which continued a;
intervals making it necessary to
abandon the outdoor demonstrations
Elaborate preparations had been
made IN the way of platform and
seats in front of the State House.
During lull of the storm, about 1000
persons occupied these seats, but were
driven to the Representatives Hall By
the rain at o'clock. At this point the
committee determined to remove the
demonstration to the shelter of the
State House and the crowd surged and
pressed for the entrance to the assembly
chamber. In a short time 1900 per
sons were crowded into the galleries
capable of ordinarily holding 800, and
the more favored 1,500 admitted to the
house. Senator Sherman was accom-
panied by Governor Oglesby, Senators
Cullom and Farwell, and State officers
and members of the managing commit
tees. There was loud and continued
duced by Governor Oglesby.
Sherman, after paying a glowing
tribute to the Illinois statesmen
Douglass and Logan-gave a sketch of
the history of the two great political
parties since the repeal of the Missouri
compromise, showing the position OF the
Republicans and Democrats on ques-
tions of war, emanc. patton, recOnstruc-
ton and suffrage. Referring to The
Democracy in the Southern States,
Sherman said there was no intelligent
man in the land who does not know
that Cleveland is President

against the electoral franchise, includ-
ing murder. arson, ballot-box stuffing,
forgery and perjury, but for which
Blaine would now be in his place. Con-
tinuing on this subject, he said: The
poison of the success of these methods
has already affected the elections in
some of the great cities oil the north,
especially in Chicago and Cincinnati,
where, under the head of Maekin~ and
Losney, the criminal classes adopted
some of the mesnest crimes to control
the elections. Why should they not

white Democrats of the SOUTH to cheat
and intimidate the poor negroes in the
south, why should not the white Dem
ocrats of the north be permitted to re-
sort to forgery and perjury, to change
the result of elections in the north WIN
discriminate against Mackin and
Losney by sending them to the Peni-
Tertiary, while sending Democrats OF
the south by means of like otfenses to
the Senate and House, and to represent
the great Republic in foreign courts,
The mission of the Republican party

and no more, and have that vote
counted" Speaking on the tariff
Sherman said the revenues must be re-
duced, but opposed the reductions oil
duties on articles that we ourselves pro-
duce, thus bringing our skilled artisans
in competition with foreign labor that
will inevitably reduce the price OF
domestic labor.
